Lynda (Cancelled user)

Call:

Transcript:

Utsab Dasgupta:
Like it's only for the product and the top management, that's it.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah, you right?
Utsab Dasgupta:
And you can be very.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
And I give you permission to use this
Utsab Dasgupta:
No.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
internally not externally, not to clone my voice or my video likeness. I'm just getting it down on paper. Um, so I'm probably an ideal customer
Utsab Dasgupta:
Sure.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
for you long term because We literally have eliminated positions based on. the workflow and technologies that we use now manage More clients that I've, I've ever seen per consultant be able to do personalizing and customizing everything we do. um, so We're gonna heavily depend on AI in the future. And the reason I was really interested in it was because When we innovate, we create this new iteration of a product or a service or deliverable. Very hard sometimes to explain what that is to a client. They haven't seen it and once they see something then they're like, Oh yeah, that's great. That's exactly what we want. But me trying to explain it on paper and in text to just it's Most of my clients just trust me Lynda. I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but do it, and it works out enough times to where they're trust me the next time, but I can't scale like that. And so really looking at scaling right now and continuing to customize things. So the idea of your platform was to be able to go. Wow, I could customize things very quickly, explain them, send them out to a client. Get help with how to word something. A client. So, we have a ton of internal, not external customers all of our stuff. Right now, comes from referrals. I have to do, I haven't paid Trying to think, I've been a business 12 years. I've never had to pay for marketing and I used to own an app. Our PR referrals. So if I could customize things quickly on your platform and send it out, that would be great The challenge right now is you have very few choices from the eye stock video. So, when I go to Pixabay, Like, I can have hundreds of free choices if I don't, you know, you don't have to donate, but I should like donate for those things. I don't care about paying for it. For us. It's about the efficiency of being able to customize a video. You know have that script written saying Hey can you change the voice over on this? Eventually we're doing some work with a firm in Germany. So to be able to translate it into a different language was, I'm sure is coming, like, that's just a process. So that's why I wanted your platform. But right now the challenges I'm having to do so many customized inserts that Canva and audio Sonic. And chat. So I'll write the script and chat. Then I'll put it to Audio Sonic and I'll drop the audio into Canva. And then I'll drag and drop some pics of a videos, which takes a lot longer but But I have more control so I can move this over there and this and I'm and you might be able to on your
Utsab Dasgupta:
Getting.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
platform. I just haven't taken the time. So that's why I canceled because I'm like until I can take some time, either you guys get up to speed with a lot, more videos to be able to insert there that are more corporate. Not just like you guys have your very
Utsab Dasgupta:
I understood.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Standard. Istock, same type of thing people in an office, people surrounded in an office, people on a whiteboard, people on a computer, but no, not a lot of modern day.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Hmm.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
A videos are pulled in. To the video feed.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Good, good. So essentially if I have understood correctly Lynda, please rectify me if I'm wrong but your major problem is the the amount of stock that you get when you search for something. you do not get enough amount of
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah.
Utsab Dasgupta:
enough amount of footages to replace the one that already a. I have chosen like the the video that I has already chosen. Now you want to replace it When you go and search, in the Stock search panel, you do not get enough amount of enough amount of footages. To actually replace it, the variety
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Variety.
Utsab Dasgupta:
The variety of digits is very less. So, it's
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Right.
Utsab Dasgupta:
so it is. So basically, if I have understood it correctly, the, the generation, the first generation that used to like when you have put in your prompt and you saw your first video you Maybe the context wise You Like it. Or to a certain level but you do not like it visually. So you need to customize it. You need to, you want to change the text that is coming in. You want to, you know, change the footages. That is there maybe some background music, maybe change the voiceover. But right now it is it's because there is not so many options so you are feeling very restricted.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah, it's just for for the corporate. I do all corporate and I'm trying to
Utsab Dasgupta:
Correct.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
customize each video to like the CEO of the company, let's say, or the head of HR, or they're getting ready to take our strategy and present it to the board of directors. I want to be able to create a quick minute long video that summarizes what we're doing and the scripts are great. Like I honestly, I I was floored by
Utsab Dasgupta:
From.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
the quality of the script with the AI and the voiceovers
Utsab Dasgupta:
Okay.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Sometimes it's a little quirky to get the right voice over, right? Like it's just a little quirky. Because I'll get the same voice sometimes like I'll ask it for a different voice and it'll give me the same voice. And so there's not a ton of variety of voices. It doesn't feel like to me like when I switch it out, I kind of and it could be me. Look, you guys are smarter than I am and AI smarter than I am. So it could be the user in the prompt engineering that I'm using.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Hmm.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Like, I'm not that great approv engineer yet.
Utsab Dasgupta:
but if we, I didn't really very, very clearly believe this that if our users are failing, it's our failure, not this Because we have build a tool for your use. If if you are not being able to use it, Then it is, it is completely our fault not yours.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So well, I think we're gonna have to work together. I love what you're doing, and a lot of the AI and the new companies are doing this and I'm really appreciate the collaboration. It makes me a much more long-term. I'm a very long-term loyal customer. I've owned businesses for 30 years. So once I find a product and then if that product can talk to my other technology, like I like hubspot. So right now we really look for project management tools that can feed in top spot easily without having to create a ton of zaps, you know, to do it. So I love this collaborative nature where you're asking the customer because I think that sometimes we're tech really lost. Its way is the interactivity of this type of conversation.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Hmm. Can you can you tell me a little bit more about Elena? Because this is very, very interesting topic. I just want to understand, like, I am just trying to make sure that I'm not interpreting it wrongly. So if you can just deep dive into it, like when you say something like hot a hubspot, can you give me one? Use case, sort of a situation like where you would like maybe two or three tools. Talking to talking between each other and creating a, creating a video sort of a thing. Like, if you can, just give me
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh, okay. Oh my God. That's so great. Okay, so remind mapping so I had thought about this but what I'm doing with some of the other eight, I tools like with chat and creating a script and then going into audio Sonic. So I create a executive summary of all, the data we've collected on the person. We actually own an interactive texting company for the last, totally proprietary, for the last 12 years.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Mm-hmm.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So we'll collect all that data and then create an executive summary feed it into audio sonic, get voice and then send them the written and the voiceover. And if one day I could do that for script for video, I think that would be incredibly powerful to stop talking in text because So so the research is only 7% of conversation as words 38% Tone and 55% is body language. So when there becomes me being able to pull the data on their behavioral style, what motivates them, how they work on a team, the interactive data that we've had for so many years about them and I can quickly could create a video. Oh my God, we could scale at a rate
Utsab Dasgupta:
Make them.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
in this country and the world that would be mind-blowing because the people in my field are not advanced. Like, I'm 57 most of them are men and they're older.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Correct.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
No. Not present company. I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just saying they're old and they're white men and they enjoyed a lot of money for a little bit of work and no pressure back because I play golf. So for me, broken into the field, I had to be innovative from day one. That's why I created that interactive texting. So I tracked them, They get interactive questions Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And I've done over 10,000 liters on the system. Over 12 years. So I'm sitting on all this massive data that until AI, I'm not a data scientist. So I don't there's been no way for me to compile it. Understand it creates summaries from it. But now that I can, the foster I can our competition. get to video and what I would kill like because nothing's customized in our space and if it is the cost of it to clients, it's just They won't pay it, they don't have the money for it. And it's too long. you know, like I'm also work on CEOs, messaging of change. So you have this chronic change issue happening in the companies.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Got it.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
and they've got a message, it And so right now, I'm creating audios for that and different voices and different wordings. it can cascade down but that's the number one problem in corporate America right now is you have this chronic change happening And has to be communicated down and it's totally lost in translation between native English versus native. Spanish verses native this style at all of this stuff. And with a I'm finding we can rewrite
Utsab Dasgupta:
Good.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
it and do it really quick and speak. To the people in a personal way and the language that they can understand the message. So it's not lost in translation.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Makes a lot of sense that's that that was insightful like I can I can think of what you are saying. That's that's really helpful. I think I'm good cook. If you have anything specific to us Lynda,
Kirkston Dsouza:
The hill in the sorry. I joined the call a little late. Lynda. I just wanted to understand. So you you mentioned that, you click the Cancel button, and you also mentioned, you gave a reference of a tool like Canva but I just wanted to understand going forward. What tools are you going to be using to create the videos that you want to make?
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So at this moment, I'm using Canva, but I To me, canva requires a level of talent. There's a whole level of town. My daughter is extremely talented. So when she creates a video on Canva, it's beautiful, and it flows well, There is a level of talent and script writing, and Picking the right videos and all of that. I don't have. I mean, I just know because I can look at it as decent but it's nothing like what you guys are on the pathway to creating. So I think I was canceling it and then I had it up for like check on it every month to see you know, rejoin. See if I can if it gets better read you know, because I'm trying lots of different tools right now so that once I find something I'm just gonna land on it it Lock and load. And my team members will get memberships and then we just go and I usually I'm a speaker. So I was actually promoting you guys
Kirkston Dsouza:
just,
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So, I was actually promoting you guys at a women's conference in Norfolk Virginia. So I'm people in our industry, really listen to me and I'm one of the few out there talking about AI. So I'm a very good spokesperson for the tools that I use.
Kirkston Dsouza:
And could you probably give a reference of the tools that you use so far and that you're liking?
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Opus clip for Sure. Opus Clip Pro. Oh My God. That was a dream because you just drag an hour in there and it figures a whole damn thing out and it's super easy as cheap you know to buy hours of audio sonic which is through right sonic unbelievable. Easy to use 18 different voices to choose from. And then we use a lot of and then chat, I haven't found anything better than open. AI chat gpt. Yet, it's still the most robust with float program. I don't have to, it's pretty robust. I'm working with a trying to create a
Kirkston Dsouza:
Me.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
bot. It's a disaster at this point. However, I'm starting to learn and so I'm using something cool. What is the name of the ask? Ask my AI or something and they're out of England.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Okay.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So, I've tried that.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Okay.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
um, and then plugins, you know, Ask my PDF favorite tool easy because I can take two research documents. Put them together, feed them in there and I can say, Can you compare and contrast this? And then here's our research. Can you compare and contrast that But anything where I can customize and personalize things within five minutes for a client is where I'm going because that's going to be extremely hard for our competitors to beat me in that space.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Good and you mentioned clients and things like that. Sorry, I missed the call of the first five minutes. I just wanted to understand briefly, what domain are you in?
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh, I'm with cortex leadership. I own cortex leadership. We're redoing our website. It's very old. We're getting ready to launch cortex leadership.
Kirkston Dsouza:
What?
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So, I haven't messed with the old one yet, but it's cortex leadership.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Is a cortex leadership. Like what industry? What what is?
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh, we do coaching consulting
Kirkston Dsouza:
No.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
strategy facilitation.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Okay, okay.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
I used to do it to my keynotes before covid. And now I just hate getting on a plane. It's like,
Kirkston Dsouza:
Good.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
you know, if I can do it virtually I'd much and a smaller group so I can actually have some impact that stuff that I'm really interested in.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Got it? Good. I think I'm good to. What's up? Do you have any closing? Thoughts or anything?
Utsab Dasgupta:
I think, I think I'm, I have a very clear idea. Lynda, thank you so much for your time. I think the call was very insightful. You like whatever you said, made a lot of sense.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Good.
Utsab Dasgupta:
By the way, I just wanted to tell you that what he was talking about this from Data, creating this videos. Now that we have Chad, GB plugin, We we have partnership with them so you can directly use chargibility inside open AI, right? Like you can use in video inside chargibility. You might actually that might actually help you like, you might can you might can actually
Kirkston Dsouza:
You can compile your data using the
Utsab Dasgupta:
find what he was.
Kirkston Dsouza:
other plugins and then with our plugin, you could probably use
Utsab Dasgupta:
Just convert that into a video.
Kirkston Dsouza:
a video.
Utsab Dasgupta:
So it's this is just the information,
Lynda McNutt Foster:
oh,
Utsab Dasgupta:
I thought it might interest you.
Kirkston Dsouza:
I mean say, since you explained all this, it does work into your workflow.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh, that's fantastic. Okay, well I'm gonna try it today. Actually, I'm gonna try
Utsab Dasgupta:
Yeah.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Yeah.
Utsab Dasgupta:
And and
Kirkston Dsouza:
What do you think? I mean you have our email addresses and we are on discord is well if you want to tell us anything at all,
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh great.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Correct and also also to add their we are actively working on this image search thing that you mentioned. I think in a couple of weeks we will be there like. So basically What happens right now is we restrict our search results, by the most relative keywords that are connected to the To the images and video provided by the service provider. So that's why you see that. 30 40, only images. But we actually have like there is no company in this world that we are not tied up with. so, essentially istock shutterstock,
Lynda McNutt Foster:
oh,
Utsab Dasgupta:
we we have all anything you name, we have all we used to restrict the footages. Now we are opening that up because we realize that lot of people are actually talking about it. Because what he used to happen is we used to run an algorithm to filter the search of the user. and actually used to make sure that Sorry, you are saying something. so, basically, what we used to do is
Lynda McNutt Foster:
No.
Utsab Dasgupta:
used to restrict and we used to give the best 50 results to the users. But then we started realizing this, these image sources, right? Those who are providing images, something like Pixabay, or Istock, or shutterstock. These people are actually, they don't tag their images properly.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Mmm.
Utsab Dasgupta:
So, what happens is our AI could not find like it. The number of footages that comes from a query becomes very low. So we are actually rewriting that entire thing.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh my God.
Utsab Dasgupta:
And we are expecting like in couple of weeks that problem will be solved. So
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Holy s***. That's a lot of work. I hope you have ai. Helping you do that because that sounds like murderous I would not
Utsab Dasgupta:
correct.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
want that job. To let you.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Correct, but we don't have option.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Oh well, I I just you guys are delightful. Thank you very much. I will continue to use the platform and I I love that you're fixing the two things and that you've incorporated openai, because if I could fly, if I could keep using it, I just think it from a competitive advantage in my business, I would really be a scale.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Okay. I I think I think you should say that like that might because specifically because you explain me as such in such elaboration that you just me to be specific. I feel that might actually help you. Like you can do whatever you want to do with Chatibility engine, just asking to convert it into a video that might be our data.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
oh,
Utsab Dasgupta:
It might be anything like that, might be whatever you are working with.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
I'm so excited. I glad I have some office time today so I can play. It's like a playground.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Yeah, of course.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
I can't sleep. I like the last month. All I can do is like walk into this
Utsab Dasgupta:
Yeah, we are also equally excited.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
world. Yeah, I really
Utsab Dasgupta:
And I and I hope you find success there because because like it seems like that's a best fit for you.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah.
Utsab Dasgupta:
I really, really hope you find that
Lynda McNutt Foster:
I mean if you want to partner, if we
Utsab Dasgupta:
is there
Lynda McNutt Foster:
can get this worked out and you want to partner with me, I'm Very happy to help you get the word out here. I, I work with a lot of companies, CEOs, and they're cheap and do speeches and in the industry. And You know, this would be groundbreaking for a lot of companies to use this. um product and their whole departments to each department, to be using it to communicate more, effectively with one another so,
Utsab Dasgupta:
Make sense, make sense? I think, I think let me let me actually also talk to our collaboration team I will pass your details to, with them. And let them let them. Let them talk to you about that because that is completely out of our boundaries. So I don't want to talk about
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Right.
Utsab Dasgupta:
anything that we really don't understand. And we cannot stand with So let me let me do that. I will involve someone, I'll let them know and if there is any collaboration opportunities, they will they will get in touch it.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah, I just like to be involved in something like this. I i'm very excited by it.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Of course, of course, and that will be a big help for us as well. Like, that makes a lot of sense.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Yeah.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Yeah.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
You guys have been delightful. Thank you very much for taking time with me.
Utsab Dasgupta:
Oh pleasure. Pleasure was all ours, you know.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
So thank you.
Kirkston Dsouza:
Thank you for joining the colors.
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Okay, see you later, guys.
Kirkston Dsouza:
All right.
Utsab Dasgupta:
well, not take
Lynda McNutt Foster:
Okay we'll
